On the second day, we entered the territory of Nanning Mansion. The further we went, the more we realized the suffering of Hong Daniu and his party.
The flooding in Nanning Province is obviously much more serious than that in Quang Ninh Province!
Trees as thick as a person were cut down, thousands of acres of fertile farmland were destroyed, and there was really no harvest.
Zhuangzi Village is completely gone. Let’s put it this way, you can still see many new graves on both sides of the dirt road from Shanshui Village to Fucheng. You can’t even see new graves here!
Bai Manshan took four or five people and took a detour to Nanning Mansion.
Nanning Prefecture had his shop property, and he wanted to go there to check it out first, and ask a few questions to get something.
He handed the convoy to Hu Wenhua and asked him to go directly to Baijiazhuang with Hong Daniu leading the way.
The convoy did not pass through Fucheng, but took the small roads between villages. There were not many disaster victims encountered along the way, but they were much more than those in Guangning Prefecture.
It felt uncomfortable to be stared at. The men who were not pulling the cart tightly held the swords in their hands.
The sharp blade emits a cold light, which is indeed much better than holding a hoe or shovel.
The dirt road became increasingly difficult to walk, and no one dared to rest much at noon. They hurriedly mixed the cold boiled rice noodles they had cooked in the morning with the fried noodles. With a full stomach, I took the time to hit the road.
They had to get to Baijiazhuang before dark. With so many goods being looked at, they were worried that they would be targeted. They also stayed elsewhere at night for fear of attracting danger.
This is very painful for Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu. The others are all stir-fried noodles, but they are the only ones who are raw. With the cold white rice, it feels like their throats are stuck.
Others have day lily and melon to relieve tiredness, but they don't either.
The two of them didn't dare to say anything more. The eyes of those people on the road seemed to glow with a faint green light. They didn't know what would happen if they were left alone!
It was getting dark, and Bai Manshan and the others who took a detour to Fucheng hurriedly hurried and finally caught up with the convoy. After joining the convoy, they headed to Baijiazhuang together.
"Don't be complacent. You won't be able to sit in this position as the head of the village for long. Sooner or later, you have to return it to me. My boss has said that my hard work has paid off, and you all have heard it!"
"Sun Lao Zhuangtou, every household has to build a house with adobe, even Xu Zhuangtou's family is doing it."
"It's up to him to do what he wants to do. Anyway, he won't be able to sit at the head of the village for long. If my family doesn't do it, it didn't do it before, it doesn't do it now, and there's no need to do it in the future!"
"But there are more than a dozen people in your family, and if you don't build adobe, who will build your house? If you don't build the house now, what will you do during the busy farming season?"
"Yes, all our houses in Zhuangzi have been washed away. If we don't build the houses with adobes early, we won't be able to plant winter wheat in time."
"Although the fertility of the fields is not as good as before, we still have to plant it. Otherwise, what will so many of us eat?"
"We also lost some food in the flood. The loss of food is still due to Sun Laozhuangtou. If we had listened to the boss and moved earlier, the food wouldn't have been taken away!"
"Yes, fortunately my boss is here. If my boss hadn't come, would we have been like other Zhuangzi, with our family and family destroyed?"
"Everyone has seen us help other villagers in Zhulin Village find people before. The survival of our wives, children, and children depends on our boss, not you, Old Man Sun!"
The noisy person changed from the respectful address of Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhuangtou, to Mr. Sun, who gradually became impatient.
Bai Manshan curled up into a smile and snorted coldly.
His guess was indeed correct. Sun Zhuangtou did not regret it. He only wanted to make Xinzhuang Head a stumbling block and behaved as always.
Very good, it just so happened that the things he went to Fucheng to get could come in handy.
Sun Zhuang became anxious and yelled: "What are you talking about! Don't I feel sorry for our belongings? Look at us, once we move, all our belongings will be gone."
"If we don't move, not only will our belongings be gone, but our people will be gone too!"
"right!"
Sun Zhuangtou saw that the people who used to be humble to him now dared to yell at him loudly. He sneered repeatedly with a sullen face: "Okay, very good. When the boss comes and restores me to the position of Zhuangtou, who will talk to me today?" Who will I deal with first then!"
The crowd was silent for a while, then Xu Qing stood up: "I said, every adobe household must be beaten! When the boss comes, you can complain and let the boss deal with me, but I don't think the boss will listen to you."
Before he finished speaking, others followed suit: "My boss is not an unreasonable person, don't use my boss to scare us!"
"You're right! My boss is doing well."
Bai Manshan heard this and felt that it was time for him to appear.
He straightened his back and walked around the corner. When the noisy crowd holding torches in front saw him, they were first in deathly silence, and then burst into cheers.
"It's the boss, the boss is here!"
"The boss is back!"
A look of hope appeared on Sun Zhuang's face, and he took the initiative to complain: "My boss, Xu Qing caught me as an old man, and you see that I have hard work without any credit, so you have to make the decision for me."
Bai Manshan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How do we learn from each other?"
"After the flood receded, we were already tired and couldn't eat or sleep well. He asked us to work day and night to build a house with adobe, clean the fields, and raise livestock... Especially my family, there were countless jobs assigned to us. , this is deliberately targeting my Sun family!"
The man holding the torch had an angry look on his face. He couldn't interrupt in front of his boss, so he just waited for Old Man Sun to finish speaking.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Bai Manshan asked with a smile on his face: "Do you think Xu Qing did a bad job as the head of the village?"
Sun Zhuang was happy and nodded hurriedly.
The faces of the family members behind him also showed expressions of joy, and their originally proud expressions became even more proud.
Bai Manshan asked kindly: "Are you, your family and Xu Qing no longer able to continue working together?"
This time not only Sun Zhuangtou nodded, but also the entire family behind him nodded in unison.
Is the boss going to make the decision for them?
Bai Manshan smiled with a smile on his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "I understand."
He turned to face the others in Zhuangzi and ordered: "Xu Qing, bring some agile men to tie up Sun Zhuangtou's family, gag them, and find a place to lock them up first."
Xu Qing responded in a loud voice, waved his hand, and dozens of men came out and began to kidnap people.
Sun Zhuangtou opened his mouth in shock, "Dongdongjia"
Before he could finish speaking, a piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth, and he could only make a whine.
Bai Manshan waited until all the Sun family members were tied up, and after confirming that they were tied tightly and could not escape, he explained: "Last time you made such a big mistake, almost all the lives of more than 200 people in Zhuangzi were lost!
You don't want to repent or think about your own mistakes, but you still dare to cause obstacles everywhere, what's the matter? Do you think I, Bai Manshan, am a good person who is a vegetarian? The Bai family can't keep people like you, and your family, the Bai family, doesn't dare to keep you! "
He took out the deed of sale from Fucheng from his arms, handed it to Xu Qing, and said: "Send it to Fucheng early tomorrow morning to be sold far away."
Hu Wenhua and his party were stunned when they saw Bai Manshan's vigorous and resolute approach.
The gentler Mr. Bai's smile is, the happier his poke is.
